THE END OF HISTORY ILLUSION

We tend to be afraid of changes, but we have to open our eyes to the fact that nothing can remain always the same, not even us and our preferences. The goal of this TED talk is to make us be aware of this change in our personality and how will they affect our future decisions.

One of the main problems is that humans are not able to predict changes in themselves. To show this, the scientist did a study, that consisted of taking 7000 people from the ages between 18 and 68 and asking them. Half of these people were asked about their actual preferences and their predictions and the other half about their current and their past ones. The results showed that, the young ones, thought that their preferences would stay the same in ten years, but the older ones explained that, their life ten years ago and in the moment of the experiment is very different.

This illusion that makes us see ourselves as a finished product can affect to our future in more ways than in our favourite food or musician. An example is when you're young and decide to buy a small house, because you don't want to have kids and you think that will stay forever like that, but some years later, your opinion has changed, so you need to sell your actual house and buy another one. We can also experience this when choosing our job or partner.

To sum up, the fact of thinking that we will never change can affect us in more ways that we thought. We have to understand that changes are something natural and necessary and we have to learn to adapt to them. The future is something unpredictable, but the end is right, so you just have to have the time of your life.

Summary video (Claudia)

I’m going to do a summary of a video that the main idea of this is the evolution of ourselves and how we expect the future.  The person who speaks in this video it’s Bence Nanay, is a Professor of Philosophy and BOF Research Professor at the University of Antwerp.

The main ideas of the video are that we and the world are developing, and we didn’t expect that. In the video explains that 3 psychologists documented our inability to predict personal change. For verify that, the researches did an experiment with over 7000 people.

The results of the experiment explain that we expect that our preferences will not change in the future but yes, there will change.

The conclusion is that we don’t know the changes that are going to happen in our lives or in the world.

THE END OF THE HISTORY ILLUSION (Carla Yu)

THE END OF THE HISTORY ILLUSION

It is said that preferences changes about the years, and for sure we’re not going to have the same preferences or do the same choices now, than in 10 years.

The main purpose of this video is just to explain and concenciate people about our own life choices, do a research about the human history and compare the difference between then and now, and how things, mentalities and this world have changed among the years.

First of all, what does ‘’The end of the history illusion’’ means? What is this about?

Psychologists and experts called our inability to predict personal choices in the future or future changes ‘’The end of history illusion’’, this applies to our individual lives too.

At first people would never think that trains could  replace horses, then one decade after the same with radios, pfones, TV or computers… Some experts even insisted that this would never catch on, but one thing that we are 100% sure about is that technology is constantly changing, we failed to predict that technologies of the present will change future.

Experts and psychologists have made a research to study this phenomenon.

They compared different predictions that people has about itselves.

This study says that young people changes more of preferences than old people, however, this doesn’t mean that old people can’t change of preferences too. Another study said that people would pay a 60% more to see they favourite group in 10 years than what they actually pay for see they favourite groups of 10 years ago.

In conclusion we can say that future is unpredictable. We’re unable to predict the future by ourselves, we predict our future preferences or choices based in our present preferences, however there’s no way to predict what our preferences will be, the same with technology, we cannot predict what new inventions will populate it.

Society is constantly changing and improving itselves. World can change for better, a change is no always a bad thing.

Video sumary

In this text, I'm going to summarise the video that I have watched and I'm going to explain the principal ideas.

When trains began to shuttle people across the countryside. many people insisted that will never replace horses. The same pas with the cars, the telephones. TVs... There where many people that accept the presents and the changes, but there where also people that didn't want the change.

What the video wants to transmit us is that we can't know what we will like or have in the future. Maybe country songs are your favourite songs now, but in ten years you love trap more than country.
In the video show us an experiment with a lot of people of many ages, and the changes that the young people want to do in the future are short compared with the changes that the old people have made.
They also sow that many people prefer to know the things of the future than remember things of the past.

To sum up, I think that the video shows us that is impossible to know what we will do in the future, so for me, it's important to live the present as better you can and make of the future an unknown adventure.

               cities of the future 

The cities in the future will be very differents of the actual cities. They will use renewable energies to work like for example solar energy, the cities will be situated in the same place that nowadays but they will have a lot of vegetation around the citie like it will be inside a forest. In the cities of the future we will only use electric cars for protect the biosfera of our  planet. 

They will have a lot of differences with the actual cities, the building will be circular to spread with nature  but nowadays they are rectangular. in the cities there are not green areas for enjoy nature but in the future the hole citie will be  green area for enjoy the nature and listen differents types of birds.The factories will work with renewable energy and there will be very few nuclear power plants in operation,unfortunately now the factories pollute the planet a lot and the waste from nuclear power plants pollutes the sea little by little.

In my opinion cities in the future will be much better and more advanced than nowadays in many ways for example in medicine, in technology, in construction , and in many other things.

CITIES OF THE FUTURE

These last few years, the number of people living in big cities has increased considerably, up to the point that, nowadays most part of the world's population resides in urban areas. There, traffic and air pollution are dominating over green spaces and trees. But, will this life style continue to be viable? Or will we be forced to change and adapt our cities for the upcoming times?

In the future, cities will have evolved and changed a lot, adapting to new technology and the population's necessities. Single family houses will be replaced by skyscrapers, saving space and energy. On the roofs, there will be vegetable gardens and solar panels, that will provide the building with green and clean energy. Cars won't be needed, due to the use of public transport. All the vehicles, including buses and trains will be electric. The city wastes will be incinerated underground and turned into biofuel, so no dumps would be needed. Finally, there will be a lot of parks and green areas, allowing people to breath fresh air and avoid all the city noises and the stress.

Even though people think that cities are the main cause of pollution and a big green city won't be possible, science and technology are providing enough advances to allow us to dream with that idea. But this may not be only a fantasy, since there's already a city in South Korea, Songo, that is on the way to become everybody's dreamed utopia. And, maybe, someday all the cities will be like that. What do you think, is an ideal city possible or just another unreachable human dream?

Exam task (Claudia Sierra)

Cities of the future

I think that in the future (in 50 years) the cities will be similar to the actually but with changes that will mark a difference in the history, because it will be better for the society and for the earth. 

The houses/flats will be biggest than now and more chepaer, this offer to the people who don’t have a lot of money have a place on live in good conditions.

I think that will be less pollution because the cars will use energy instead of petrol. If the pollution reduced a lot, the earth will can survive to the climate change.

Another change will be that there will be less roads and more trees, because the nature is the most important think in the earth and we have to protect it a lot.

And the last change I think that there will be some robots in the streets, because the technology is going to develop a lot and robots will work in humans jobs.

This are the changes that I think that are the more importants

WRITING TASK: Cities of the future (Carla Yu)

CITIES OF THE FUTURE

It’s known by lot of people, that nowadays there’s more and more pollution, affecting to our environment and to our lifestyle. By then, there wasn’t too much traffic, or that high quantity of factories, even there where more green places and there wasn’t too much pollution. However there’s not only negative points, even if those aspects affects to the environment, it’s important to mention that have helped to connect the world and people too.

The thing is that humanity has progressed, and new technologies have developed, even that, we still have problems with the pollution, But, how can we resolve this problem?

Firstly it’s important to settle down. In what had technologies evolved those years?

One of the things that pollute the most is the traffic and transport, so, for that case it has been invented the electric car, there’s no need to do an explanation, we all known what a electric car is, but what we don’t known most of us, is in what can help this to protect our planet, and it’s that electric cars don’t pollute, perhaps one car don’t make the difference, but imagine one million cars, even busses, trucks, airplanes… In a near future this can be possible, by now we don’t have enough methodes to make this possible because there isn’t enough energy to make a plane work, but this still isn’t unbelievable.

Another point that can help to resolve the first ‘’problem’’ of the generation of energy are the solar panels. Those systems are a good way of generating sustainable energy. We just have to find a place for the installation, even so solar panels can be settle on the buildings roofs.

Event that, there still are many negative points or things that for now can’t make this possible. The most important is the money. The state cannot have enough money for all the installations, or in some old houses put a solar panel can’t be viable, another important fact is that maybe the solar panels can’t produce enough energy for the mantinement of an school or even a factory.

In conclusion, all this ways of protecting the world are good, but can’t be enough, and it’s important to know what can normal people do to contribute. We can help to this recycling or giving another use to all things that now can look useless, this can sound insufficient, but if we all contribute to this, it can be feasible.

exam task

What will the cities of the future be like?

Well, I think they wouldn’t change a lot between now and then.

Maybe, if we think about the future in century 22, if there’s any human life there, the cities will be a little bit different and better.

In my imagination, the houses of the future have to be flying constantly. The cities won’t have any building because the people will be extended in all the world and then there will not be an agglomeration of people.

The streets will be bigger and all the sidewalks will be width and with a ramp for the people that go in a wheelchair and the ones that go with carts or buggies.

Also, there will be only public transport to reduce the pollution on the cities, but not the actually public transport, one that smells good and it’s bigger, with ramps for the wheelchair people also.

To sum up, the cities of the future will be similar to today’s cities but better.

About Nathy Peluso.

Nathy Peluso is a famous Argentine singer that sings songs of many styles. She doesn’t follow established rules; it goes smoothly from one musical style to another. Although her point of reference is swing, she goes from blues to rap, and from salsa to jazz. She has taken songs from many years ago. One of her most famous song is La Sandunguera, that is also a shout to the sexism, like the Business Woman song, that is a recent song that also makes a shout to the machism.


Many times I don’t understand her letters because she mixes many Argentine words and the rhythm of her songs are normally fast.





She made an interview in the Resistencia that was really funny and she appeared in OT 2020 the 8M representing the day of the woman.

Now that we are in quarantine

Now that we are in quarantine, I have a lot of time to do things that I always say that I am going to do but I never do because I have no time, or because I am lazy.


I decided that in the afternoon, I am gonna make fitness in a virtual gym because the time happens quickly and I entertain my mind for an hour. I wanted to go run but these seem like impossible because they are ticketing the people who go out. Also, it's a good way to make my body look better.


I think that the worst thing we can do is think that we are gonna die because of the coronavirus o because of the boredom. we should think somethings to do, like watching all the series on Netflix, making cookies with your family, decorating the rooms...


For example, I'm using the quarantine to be addicted to the game "hay day" and be the best of my friends.

Spend fine in the quarantine!

Serie: Rick and Morty (Claudia Sierra)

Rick and Morty

Rick and Morty is an animated serie but this isn’t for children’s because that contains insults and things of this style. It’s a comedy serie and I think one of the bests of this type. The episodes are very shorts because are of 20-25 minutes each episode.

The synopsis of the serie is that Rick is a scientist that comes to the house of his daughter and he use the garage as a lab. He and his grandson, Morty, do some experiments, they go to another’s planets and galaxy’s and another things similars to this.

I recommend this serie a lot if you like the series like that or you can watch it when you have some free time because it’s easy to watch
